Proper Governmental Functions.

Mr.. Cleveland never. omits an oppor-
tunity to enforce the doctrip-ethat the
Government should not sc e9port the
people. In vetoing the bill 1sc pub
lie building at Portsmouth, O., he cites
the claim of the promoter of the meas
ure that there is not q Federal public
building in the State of Ohio east of
line drawn on the map from Cleveland
through Columbus to Cincinnati, and
that "when wealth and population
and the needs of the public service
are considered, the distribution of
public buildings in the State is an un-
fair one" The President condemns
this theory of expenditure for public
buildings as untenable, pointing out
that if an application for the erection
of such building is to be determined
by the distance between its proposed
location and another public building,
or upon the allegation that u certain
division of State is without Gov
ernment building, OF that the distri-
button of these buildings in a particular
State is unfair, we shall rapidly be led
to an entire disregard of the consider
ations of necessity and public need,
which it seems to him should alone
justify the expenditure of public funds
for such a purpose. 1.-The care and
protection which the Government
owes to the people, he adds, "do
not embrace the grant of public
buildings to decorate thriving and pros
porous cities and villages, nor should
such buildings be erected upon any
principle of fair distribution among To-
calities. The Government is not an
almoner of gifts among the people, but
an instrumentality by which the peo-
ple's affairs should be conducted upon
business principles, regulated by the
public needs" Applying these princi-
Piles to the case under consideration,
the President concludes that 'sas a
business proposition the building pro-
posed should not be undertaken" and
therefore refuses to sign the bill, which
kills it. The saving of money to the
treasury by the various public building
bills which the President has vetoed
must be considerable, but the financial
saving is unimportant in comparison
with the lesson which he has thus
taught in the proper relations of the
Federal Government to the people

JAMES FAMOUS VICTORY.


"Twan on a summer evening,
And James G. had begun
To rattle off his well-known speech
OF eighteen sixty-one;
Forth from his ancient carpet-bag
He drew the Bloody Shirt,
And waved aloft its tattered sleeves
In manner most expert;
While all around him silent stood
A vast discordant multitude.
Then up rose one amid that throng.
And Mugwump was his name,
A veteran of the civil war,
A soldier, old and lame;
s'Pray tell me why you ask my vote,
And why you wave on high
This relic of antiQuitys"-
He asked-and got reply:
''Why, twenty years ago, you see,
We won famous victory!'
''But is the war not over, James,
And all it's deeds of woe
Forgiven and forgotten by
The Nation long agos
Are not the tramp of armed men,
The fatal rifles blast,
The cannon's roar, the dying moan,
Traditions of the past?''
I'm sure I do not know" said he;
"But twas famous victory"
'sBut what Of civil service, James,
And revenue reform,
Monopolists and laborers,
The anti-whisky storm?
Pray, give us living issues, man,
And let the dead ones rest;
Now of all reasons for your hopes,
Which think you is the best?''
I'm sure I've heard of none" said he,
Except the famous victory"
'But, James, you never went to war,
Nor fought the rebel host,
Nor helped our gallant soldiers win
The victories you boast!
Why, then. do you recount the scenes
OF twenty years ago?
What sufferings did you endure,
What trials wrought you woe?''
81 stayed at home and preyed," said he;
"But twas famous victoryr'
